Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons madras curry powder
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef brisket
1 1/2 pounds ground beef sirloin
6 slices American cheese
12 slices bacon, preferably applewood-smoked
6 Homemade Buns for Bacon Cheeseburgers, sliced lengthwise
Lettuce, for serving (optional)
Sliced tomato, for serving (optional)
Sliced red onion, for serving (optional)
Pickles, for serving (optional)
Ketchup, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together curry powder, cayenne pepper, and 2 tablespoons salt until well combined; set spice mixture aside.
  • Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold your hand above the grill for 1 to 2 seconds, you have high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, make sure the knobs are turned to high.
  • In a large bowl, using clean hands, mix together brisket and sirloin until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Divide meat equally into 6 balls, and flatten each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of each patty with spice mixture, reserving any remaining spice mixture for another use.
  • Place burger on grill, directly over heat, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare; top burgers with bacon and cover with cheese during the last minute of cooking.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon on grill and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Place burgers on the bottom half of each bun and top with 2 slices bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and ketchup as desired. Top with remaining bun halves and serve immediately. Serve pickles on the side.

### Key Takeaway from the Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe * **High-quality ingredients matter:** Use fresh, high-quality ground chuck, thick-cut bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese for the best results. * **Don't overwork the meat:** When you mix the ground chuck, do it lightly and quickly, just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will make the burgers tough. * **Form the patties:** Use a kitchen scale to ensure that the patties are all the same size and weight. This will help them cook evenly. * **Cook the burgers over medium heat:** This will help them cook evenly without overcooking. * **Don't press on the burgers while they're cooking:** This will release the juices and make them dry. * **Top the burgers with cheese:** Add a nice thick layer of sharp cheddar cheese to each burger. Let it melt and get bubbly before serving. * **Add your favorite toppings:** Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, red onions, and pickles. ### Bonus Cooking and Serving Suggestions: * **Try different types of cheese:** Sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also try other types of cheese, such as American, blue cheese, or mozzarella. * **Add-ins:** For extra flavour, try adding some diced jalapeños, crumbled blue cheese, or bacon crumbles to the burger patties before cooking. * **Sauce it up:** Serve the burgers with your favorite burger sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or barbecue. * **Get creative with toppings:** Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Some popular options include avocado slices, grilled pineapple, and sautéed mushrooms. ### Final Thoughts This recipe will help you make juicy, flavorful bacon cheeseburger that you'll love. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can easily create a burger that will be the hit of your next party or cookout. So what are you waiting for?
